Oh, I thought you meant spec minimum not legal minimum.
Does the law not say the cables have to meet the USB C spec?

The maximum wattage of the little USB C cable that comes with headphones certainly don’t support a minimum wattage that will charge a large iPhone at any appreciable speed.
Which ones? The posts I can find say they do USB 2.0

Those cables don't meet the standard, then. The minimum is 3 amps and a single pair of data wires. And that doesn't require much, especially for a little 6 inch cable.
If the law mandates USB C, then it mandates 3 amps for cables.
Then you also have the opposite problem. If the USB cable supports higher wattage power delivery, some low wattage USB C devices like headphones won’t charge.
Then I don't know why you're spending so many posts purely about cables in complaint of this law. Cables have gone from unregulated to unregulated.
If your underlying argument is "this is in the right direction but they should have gone further", you are not coming across that way with all your other posts.

Do you mean like the thing with raspberry pis? That wasn't about wattage, their miswiring meant that any cable with a tag would fail.
Otherwise I don't see how that kind of failure is possible.
Don’t you just love the USB C “standard”?

Just so you don’t think I’m choosing some no name headphones as an example
Your first link has one answer that starts with "likely because it’s not usbC"
Your second link just seems like ass covering? The only complaints I can find of those not charging seem to be unrelated to the cable used.
